MASTER II robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru)
located in SAAO was pointed to the probable GRB (Swift Trigger 657564) 24
sec after notice time and 108 sec after trigger time at 2015-10-04
18:10:55 UT. On our first (20s exposure) set we not found optical
transient within SWIFT error-box (Cenko et. al GCN 18389) brighter then
16.0.
Analysis of highly complicated proximity to the Milky Way (Galactic
latitude l=-3.5) and strong winds (speed=65 km/h)
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.0 mag
